| 4 000 In New York City Declare Sacco and Vanzetti Must Not Die ECLARING that “Sacco and Vanzetti Must Not Die!” 50,000 workers thundered their approval of resolutions adopted at the Union Square Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration yesterday as follows: VICTIMS OF MONSTROUS FRAME-UP. “Whereas, Sacco and Vanzetti are, the victims of a monstrous frame-up by the capitalist class and capitalist justice in this country, and “Whereas, their execution would constitute a foul murder of two innocent workers, and “Whereas, the investigation of Governor Fuller-and his commission was carried on in the same frame-up spirit as the entire trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, and “Whereas, this commission was more concerned with hilepadntue Judge Thayer and Massachusetts justice than to actually establish the facts of the case, and MURDERED FOR LOYALTY TO LABOR. “Whereas, all the facts of the case declare unequivocally for the innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti and show that they are about to be murdered because they are fighters for the welfare of the working- class, “Therefore, Be It Resolved, that this demonstration goes on record demanding the immediate liberation of Sacco and Vanzetti from the dungeons of Massachusetts and calls upon the goyernor of Massachu- setts to grant immediately full and complete freedom to these workers. We want no life imprisonment but absolute freedom!

Author of “Three Soldiers.” (Special to the, Daily Worker). BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 9.—While four quarters of the world roars with the Sacco-Vanzetti case, Bos- ton is as quiet as the center of -a hurricane. The maneuver by which two col- lege presidents and a judge draped pall of respectah y over the frame-up has effe the “best minds.” The intellectual phalanxes led by the Boston Herald that were to save “civilization” and the honor of the American legal system have scattered and the pro- testing liberals are running to ¢over.. All they wanted was a pretext to | do nothing. Meanwhile Sacco and Vanzetti are starving in their cells in Charlestown Prison, as cut off from the sun and sky and talk and friends as if al iy dead. Rose Sacco s them every day. But since their letters to Fuller were published the warden is sit- ting like a hippopatamus at his He puts a heavy censorship on the letters to comrades outside that they are continually writing. Gagged, the state is putting its vic- tims to death. At the Defense Committee, type- writers are continually hopefully clicking telegrams to cities and states and to many organizations to find and awaken the sleeping con- science of America. Where is conscience of America? So far no one has found it. Will the electric current shattering these | two men’s bodies at the same time | shock us awake from our rotarian dollar marked sleep. The Common- | wealth of Massachusetts is showing | a “consciousness of guilt.” The of- ficinls have jumpy nerves. Seven Italians, quiet people. nervous, walked up the marble staircases of the State House. Came from Ply- mouth to ask the governor to ar- rest them for perjury if he believed them liars on Vanzetti’s alibi. The governor was “absent.” He flew up in the air and ran them out of his office. Everywhere are cops and fat state police on horseback and plain clothes men. Two officials of the cap workers’ union arrested and held without bail on mysterious suspicion of picket- ing garment workers around the state house, arrested in batches.
